The purple bamboo is about a person tall and as thick as a thumb, and is the true form of the mutated wood spirit.
The bamboo joints penetrated by Lin Yige's sword energy healed instantly, as if they had never existed.
On the silent Wuying Peak, a childish and loud cry suddenly sounded: "It hurts, wuwuwu... bad guy! 嘤嘤嘤..."
The cries kept coming, and the purple bamboo kept trembling. Dewdrops kept leaking from the bamboo leaves, like beads on strings, "pattering, pattering", hitting the dead branches and leaves on the ground.
…
Lin Yige was made soft-hearted by the child's crying, and felt a trace of intolerance.
Then I thought of the spiritual sword that disappeared on the mountain...
What can’t be tolerated? What pity and love? It’s all an illusion!
Lin Yige became alert and held Zizhu's hand a little tighter.
This mutated wood spirit was smarter than she thought, and he actually knew how to pretend to be weak and make a fool of himself?!
Among the thousands of spiritual swords in Wuying Peak, there are many who have opened their spiritual intelligence and gave birth to sword spirits. It makes sense that the mutated wood spirits have grown spiritually and intellectually after eating those spiritual swords.
Lin Yige hardened her heart and said coldly: "Stop crying, what do you have to cry about? You've eaten so many spiritual swords, and that's why I want to cry!"
Zizhu immediately stopped trembling and crying, her childish voice was clear and loud, and she said confidently: "Then I'm hungry! Of course I have to eat!"
…
Lin Yige sighed. Sure enough, he couldn't let down his guard easily just because the mutated wood spirit was still young. He was almost fooled by it.
"As long as you swear to recognize me as Lord, not only can you eat the golden beans just now every day, but you can also follow me to the foot of Heming Mountain and go outside."
To leave Wuying Peak, you need to pass through the ancient vine trestle, and to leave Heming Mountain, you need to pass through the Guiyi Sect's mountain-protecting formation.
And these two things happen to have a restrictive effect on the spiritual objects on Heming Mountain.
Mu Ling was silent for a while, as if thinking about the pros and cons.
When Lin Yige saw that Zizhu had not moved for a long time, he couldn't help but think of what he had seen with his own eyes when he went down the mountain for training, the routine of bargaining between ordinary people and traders.
"It doesn't taste sweet if you force yourself to do it. Since you don't want to, how can I force it? It's getting late, so I'll leave now."
After saying that, Lin Yige simply let go of his hands and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The mutated wood spirit became anxious, shaking the purple bamboo branches and leaves, "Wait a minute! I have to think about it!"
"Then you think about it slowly and I'll come back next time."
"When is the next time?"
Could it be that Lin Yige acted on purpose: "That's impossible to say. There is not a single spiritual sword on Wuying Peak, and you refuse to recognize me as your master, so what am I doing here?"
Although the mutated wood spirits are smart, they have never seen the thousand-layered tricks of humans.
"Then...okay! You promise to keep me fed, and of course I can accept you as my master."
"That's natural." Lin Yige raised the corners of his lips, turned around and introduced himself to his family, "The seventh-generation true successor of the Guiyi Sect, Lin Yige."
As far as she could see from the corner of her eye, there were only sword names left on the bamboo joints. Thinking of the mountain of spiritual swords, the smile disappeared from her lips again.
The mutated wood spirit shook its branches and leaves and said: "I was born with no name and no surname. Of course I am whatever you call me!"
Since Mu Ling proposed to let him name it, Lin Yige was naturally happy to ask Mu Ling to owe him more karma.
It is autumn now, and autumn is Geng and Xin; mutated wood spirits eat metal to make a living, it just so happens that Geng metal is yang, Xin metal is yin, and there is no difference between yin and yang in the five elements of spirits...
During her training, she also encountered monks who named the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yige confirmed: "Why don't we just call it 'Geng Xin'?"
The mutated wood spirit accepted it gladly, and immediately swore an oath loudly, saying: "The wood spirit Gengxin is willing to accept Lin Yige as his master, respect him, and never deviate from it. If there is any disobedience, I am willing to be punished by God."
Later, Lin Yige separated a ray of spiritual consciousness, which merged with the spiritual consciousness of the wood spirit Gengxin, and established the contract with the bird and insect seal script.
The master and slave formed a contract, turning into a stream of light and flying to the sky.
The heaven and earth sense each other, thunder clouds condense, thunder snakes roll, and thunder roars.
A lightning bolt as thick as a finger fell on the purple bamboo, the main body of the wood spirit.
Zizhu transformed in response to the calamity, and turned into a little girl with pink makeup and no teeth.
The reason why Xu made the contract was actually somewhat similar to Lin Yige.
Lin Yige remembered that he came to Wuying Peak to find a handy spiritual sword.
She looked at the lotus-like limbs of the little milk baby, and the scene of a little milk baby hanging on her waist emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help but frown.
The human form looked similar to hers, so naturally it looked good, but she didn't really want to have a baby around her waist.
Lin Yige thought for a while, took another golden bean, handed it to Geng Xin, and said: "The golden bean agreed upon, this is for today. Also, your original form is more beautiful."
Gengxin held the golden beans in his mouth like eating candy, raised his head proudly, and said incoherently: "Of course!"
Lin Yige walked a few steps, turned around and said worriedly: "Can you keep up with me like this?"
Geng Xin nodded and said confidently: "Of course!"
She tried to lift her legs, but failed to maintain her balance and fell onto her back.
Lin Yige couldn't help laughing and said: "You are still transformed into a spirit sword. I will take you with me, so you don't have to leave by yourself."
"Of course that's good!" Geng Xin showed a few front teeth the size of rice grains, smiled happily, and immediately turned into a purple bamboo whip two feet four inches long.
…
Is this a spiritual sword?
This is a bamboo whip made of purple bamboo!
Those thousands of spiritual swords in Wuying Peak, did Gengxin feel lonely?
Lin Yige leaned over and picked up the purple bamboo whip, and then held a sword flower in his hand.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo was cut in half by the sword wind, and the rocks were broken into small pebbles.
Lin Yige's original dissatisfaction dissipated instantly.
This purple bamboo whip is cold to the touch, and it is neither gold nor wood. It can be easily broken into broken stones, and the weight is just right, and the length is exactly two feet and four inches that she is used to. At a quick glance, it really looks like a "spiritual sword."
Thinking about it from another angle, this sword is shaped like a bamboo joint, the blade is smooth and oily, heavy and has no edge. It is suitable for letting others calm down and listen to her reasoning.
What a good sword!
Lin Yige hung the "Gengxin Sword" on his waist with satisfaction and left Wuying Peak along the ancient vine plank road.
The ancient vine plank road is rooted in the middle of the cliff under Jiuzhong Cliff, 500 feet from the top of the cliff and 500 feet from the bottom of the cliff.
Lin Yige came here alone on a crane, so naturally he also planned to return on a crane.
She was about to chant a spell to attract the white crane, but after a pause, another thought came to her mind: Should she force Geng Xinzai to go up there herself?
Geng Xin can transform into a human form, which is equivalent to the cultivation level of the human race in the god transformation stage. It should not be difficult for her to carry him back to the top of the cliff.
If it can be done, you can return to Jingzhe Cave in advance, and you don't have to wait until the elixir is formed to return with the sword.
Adhering to the principle of making the best use of everything, Lin Yige does whatever comes to his mind.
She held the hilt of the Gengxin sword and asked, "Gengxin, can you take me up to the top of the cliff?"
"certainly!"
Before he finished speaking, Geng Xin took Lin Yige and flew into the sky.
Lin Yige was unprepared and almost lost his grip with the purple bamboo whip, and his arm was almost dislocated by the speeding spirit sword.
Before she could recover, Geng Xin had already brought her to the Jiuzhong Cliff.
